Disney Store Exclusive Limited Edition Mother Gothel Doll

     The Disney Store created a limited edition Mother Gothel doll in honour of Disney's 50th animated feature film Tangled. Mother Gothel is the first villain in the limited edition collector doll series and is limited to a worldwide edition of 1500 pieces, complete with an individually numbered certificate of authenticity. She is designed to accompany the limited edition Rapunzel doll (see below).  Her clothing is very accurate to her outfit in the film, with a patterned, garnet satin gown embellished with gold accents and ruby rhinestones. Her hooded cloak is made of velvet and is removable. Her makeup was executed well, along with her iconic hairstyle. The smirk on Mother Gothel's face accentuates her personality, as she holds a hair brush in her right hand. She is an exquisite collectible figure with her stunning craftsmanship. Mother Gothel was available in select Disney Store locations across North America and in very limited quantities online. She sold out immediately once stores opened their doors and almost instantly online. We are ecstatic about the Disney Store finally producing a villain in the limited edition collector doll series and cannot wait for the next!

Limited Edition Captain Hook

     Released by Disney and Mattel in 1999, Captain Hook was the first limited edition doll of what was supposed to be an all male villain collector doll series. For some reason this series was discontinued before a second doll could be released. The quality of Hook's costume is amazing! Everything from the plume on his hat to the buckles on his shoes were done just right. I especially like the facial expression they used for the doll, it is a perfect portrayal of the on-screen villain. The captain comes complete with a stand and certificate of authenticity.

Pirates of the Caribbean

             In continuing on with this month's Halloween theme, here are some of our Pirates of the Caribbean collectibles.

     Medicom Toy has produced a Mickey Mouse dressed up as Jack Sparrow Vinyl Collectible Doll. Mickey acquires Jack Sparrow's personality along with Jack's outfit, implied by his stance and facial expression. The outfit comes complete with Jack's rings that he likes to show off, as well as his hat, sash, coat and sword. We would strongly recommend this piece to any Pirates of the Carribean collector.

     Neca released 18" Action Figures With Sound for each of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Each figure is sculpted very well, recreating the characters identical features. The packaging is also very well done, with window front for display (with map background), with lots of detail on the back and colourful graphics to surround the sides.

     Jack Sparrow was the first character, made from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. He comes with a sword that can be held in his hand, a pistol, his trusty compass, his hat and signature pirate outfit. Says phrases from the film when activated by motion. This piece can currently only be found on the secondary market.

     For Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Neca released an 18" Cannibal Jack figure to follow the first. This Jack has the "cannibal" paint on his face like Jack has in the film, the necklace of human fingers around his neck, as well as a bottle of rum and an interchangable hand. Says phrases from the film with activated by motion.

     From Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Neca released an 18" Captain Teague figure. This figure comes with two pistols, a sword and a matching base. He also comes with Jack's late mother's shrunken head. Captain Teague, who is played by Keith Richards, has immaculate detail on his face and outfit to pay respect to the film. Also says phrases from the film with activated by motion and can only be found on the secondary market.

The Princess and The Frog Collection

      The newest traditionally animated Disney classic "The Princess and The Frog" made an outstanding impression on us. There has been a scarce amount of high end collectibles released for this movie, yet there is a few that will take your breath away! Here is our collection..

     We were extremely lucky to be able to take up the opportunity to recieve this one-of-a-kind, signed, official one-sheet movie poster from Disney Movie Rewards. It is the advance poster style A, pre-signed by Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen themselves! The dimensions are 27" x 41" and it is double-sided. This poster is in pristine condition and we could not be happier.

     This next poster was also a reward redeemed through Disney Movie Rewards. This poster was also an advance poster, being released in early June 2009 - set for Holiday 2009. It is an official double-sided poster, from Walt Disney Studios and it's dimensions are the same, 27" x 41" (authentic one-sheet size). Once again, as always, this poster is in pristine condition. It is the most beautiful one yet; the artwork really grasps the magic and essence of the movie. 

     Princess Tiana was replicated with close attention to detail in Disney's new line of Limited Edition Princess Dolls that are Disney Store Exclusives. Being the second doll to be released (proceeding Snow White) and the first collectible doll of Tiana, she sold out immediately on pre-order, online at Disney Stores. The doll itself stands at 18", inside a perfectly displayable box. The box also contains Tiana's signature decor. Her gown is comparable to a prom or wedding dress, with similar fabics and detailing such as rhinestones, rope and crinoline. She is holding Prince Naveen - as a frog - in her hand. I believe she is fully articulated. The certificate of authenticity is placed in a slot at the bottom, on the inside of the box. A number out of 5000 is stamped onto the certificate. At the reasonable price of $99.50 with the blu-ray/dvd combo pack of the movie included, you could not go wrong on this high quality item. Many are going on Ebay at the moment at an inflated price.

    In relation to the new line of Limited Edition Collecitble Disney Dolls, we just pre-ordered the Two-Piece Limited Edition Talking Woody & Buzz Lightyear set. I suppose Disney decided to introduce some other characters besides Princesses into the line, which is fantastic! The intricate packaging for Woody & Buzz demonstrates that it is from the same line. They are limited to 6000 pieces and include a certificate of authenticity. They both talk and have some new and exciting outfits. Arrival date is November 2nd - will update when it arrives! :) Gets yours while you can!!



     Back to The Princess and The Frog with these stunning bookends. These bookends are made out of resin,  weighing almost 20 lbs. The immaculate detailing on the sculptures and the paint is identical to the scenes and characters in the movie. Charlotte is in her bedroom on the one side of the bookends, with a fancy faux marble vanity. While Tiana, on the other side, is out on the balcony 'Wishing Upon A Star'unaware of the frog (Prince Naveen) sitting on the edge. The bookends act more like large statues or figurals as opposed to bookends. These bookends are designed by Disney Store product/character designer Steve Thompson.

     The Princess and The Frog Disney Store snowglobe was actually a 2 piece set, consisting of a large globe and a mini globe. The large globe recreates the enchantment in the ending scene of the movie, where Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen exchange vows and turn back into humans. It is quite large, requiring a fair amount of shelf-space. The globe has a switch that turns on the lights inside the tree, that change from dim to bright, illuminating the fireflies. It does not have an automatic blower, but does have sparkles inside the globe. All of the characters in the scene in the movie are included on the globe and there is a frog-prince border around the base. It is very beautiful! The mini globe is a depiction of Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen when they are frogs. It matches the large globe, with the same border. The lotus on the top is a nice addition to the lilypads on the inside. The amazing Disney artist Steve Thompson also designed this globe set. I think more 2-piece snowglobe sets should be released!

     The Princess and The Frog released a Disney Store Exclusive Deluxe Figurine Set aside from the regular pvc sets that they usually carry. This pvc set was scarcely supplied to Disney Stores and only online for a short period of time due to a high demand. There are 11 characters included, with glitter accents on half of them. They are done really well, capturing what the characters sincerely look like. The packaging displays them nicely.

     This jewelry box was a Toys R Us promotional item for pre-ordering The Princess and The Frog movie. Being a fan of movie release/promotional items, we were thankful to recieve this gift.
